2015-16 Season of ‘Met Museum Presents’ Announced

Humpty Dumpty had nothing on Adam, the 15th-century marble statue that shattered into hundreds of pieces after its pedestal at the Metropolitan Museum of Art collapsed back in 2002.

Returned to public view last fall after a painstaking restoration, the statue by Tullio Lombardo will come to life this summer in a new interactive work by artist Reid Farrington in the museum’s Venetian sculpture gallery.
